Research by our Flickr Commons users unearthed this great snippet in the Northern Herald (Queensland, Australia) newspaper: “In a street procession at Waterford, supporting Capt. Redmond (Independent), they came in conflict with a crowd attending a meeting where General Cosgrave was speaking. In the disorder that followed, the editorial office of the Republican newspaper was burnt to the ground. Finally, plain-clothes policemen fired a volley of blank cartridges, thus stampeding the crowds.” (5 September 1923)
